Aftab Iqbal Fires Back at Sohail Ahmed’s Criticism
15th April, 2024The Pakistani entertainment industry has recently witnessed a clash of comedic titans, as Sohail Ahmed and Aftab Iqbal engaged in a public spat following remarks made by Ahmed during an interview with Ahmed Ali Butt.
Ahmed didn’t mince his words when he criticized his former colleague, Aftab Iqbal, particularly focusing on what he perceived as Iqbal’s lack of respect for his colleagues and his alleged know-it-all attitude. Ahmed also aimed Iqbal’s conduct and wardrobe choices, urging him to adopt a more humble approach in both his personal and professional interactions.
Here’s what Ahmed said:
In response, Iqbal defended himself, highlighting his pre-Hasb e Haal career as a columnist and the conceptualization of the show. While acknowledging Ahmed’s acting prowess, Iqbal emphasized the collaborative nature of comedy, suggesting that an actor is nothing without a good writer and director. He also disclosed that he had encouraged Ahmed to bring on more comedians for Hasb e Haal, a suggestion that Ahmed apparently followed later on.
Iqbal also addressed Ahmed’s criticisms of his attire, asserting that his clothing often serves as comedic material and contributes to the content of their shows. Additionally, Iqbal extended an invitation for dialogue, expressing his willingness to engage with Ahmed despite previous challenges in arranging a meeting.
While the reasons for Ahmed’s absence from Iqbal’s show remain undisclosed, this public exchange underscores the complexities of working relationships in the entertainment industry.
